Ambassador of Laos H. E. Phouangkeo Langsy hosted a reception at his residence recently to celebrate the Lao New Year (Pi may Lao). Several diplomats and friends joined the celebrations and enjoyed traditional warmth and hospitality by H E Phouangkeo Langsy.

Lao New Year is the liveliest holiday of the year and one that everyone looks forward to, as it is a time when many people visit their families all over the country. Pi Mai Lao is a spectacular event as there are many parades and other festivities which normally last about a week.
